PREFiOK. 


This  collection  of  Hymns  has  been  compiled  for  the 
purpose  of  supplying  a  want,  much  felt  in  our  B^bbath 
Scliools  at  this  time. 

The  compiler  has  endeavored  to  select  such  hymns  as 
arc  in  general  use,  and  are  adapted  to  all  Sabbath  School 
occasions.  Many  of  the  selections  will  be  found  set  to 
music  in  the  "Sabbath  School  Bell."  That  this  little 
ofiering  may  prove  acceptable  to  all  the  dear  children 
who  love  to  sing  "  the  sweet  song:^  of  Zion,"  is  the  sin- 

f^ere  wish  of

A  COLLECTION  OF  SABBATH  SCHOOL  HYMNS. 

\  COMPILED    BY 

I  A  a^BBATH  SCHOOL  TEACHER.  ■    , 

!For  the  benefit  of  the   Children  in  the    Confederate  State/. 
\  Haleigh,  North  Oarolina,  1863. 


The  publication  of  this  volume  has  been  undertaken  by 
several. friends  of  Sabbath  Schools,  not  with  any  expec- 
tation of  pecuniary  profit,  but  for  the  purpose  of  supply- 
ing, to  some  extent,  the  great  demand  for  hymn  books  for 
use  in  our  Sabbath  Schools. 

It  has  been  truly  said  that  "  the  Sabbath  School  is  a 
place  of  deep  and  affecting  interest  to  every  faithful  fol- 
lower of  the  Lord  Jesus  ;  for  it  opens  to  the  young  in  the 
most  attractive  form,  the  rich  eaauries  of  the  gospel, 
feeds  them  with  the  bread  of  life,  points  them  to  the 
realms  of  glory  and  sends  them  on  theiij  way  rejoicing. 

'*  Heing  peculiar  in  its  character  it  requires  peculiar 
means  to  carry  it  forward  successfully)  All  who  have' 
had  any  experience  in  its  labors  know  something  of  the 
value  of  appropriate  music  as  6ne  of  thofee  means.  Such 
pieces  as  "  Rest  for  the  Weary,"  '♦There  is  a  Happy 
Land,"  "  The  Sunday  School  Army,"  p  I  am  bound  for 
^the  land  of  Canaan,"  and  others  of  jimilar  character 
'--'hen  sung  with  spirit  exert  a  power-fullinfluence  in  ele- 
atitjgthe  taste  and  in  moulding  the  dffections  of  the 
young.  They  often  touch  the  hidden  srtring  of  emotion 
in  the  soul  and  bring  out  the  voice  with  .surpristiig  power 
and  sweetness."  \ 

.    Most  of  the  songs  in  this  collection  are'of  a  lively  and 
cheerful  nature,  such  as  children  deiightiin  singing. 

Thfe  book  will  be  furnished  at  the  following  rates  : 

Single  copies,        -        -        -      3J0  cents.
